Mattias Ekström is Swedens most talented driver ever. Racing, rallying, RX, ROC. More than 10 years I´ve seen his skills (and mentioned it before on this forum) and now he proves it in WRX as well. Given enough time and he´d been WRDC also. Now it´s too late I´m afraid.
He was fast both in Mitsubishi and a fabia wrc in sweden, i remember. He has earned his money in dtm, but i should loved to se him in some different cars earlier in his carriere!
